And this is like,
after I'd already told the nurse and then because I remember my husband's parents were there and I was in the room and they were talking and they were holding the baby and I calmly walk because I'm again you're up walking I calmly walked back and I was like I don't want anyone to panic and that's when I told the nurse I can't breathe you know I was just like you know help me out here
And she didn't take me serious.
So then when the doctor came, I was telling her I couldn't breathe.
And she was like, OK.
I could look at her and tell that I don't know if she believed me, but she did everything I asked.
And I was really grateful that I had her and that she was with me for the whole pregnancy journey.
And it's so good to have a doctor that will listen to you.
And, you know, you might say things that don't make sense, but still she heard me.
She listened.
And if she hadn't listened, I wouldn't be here.
And she made sure that...
she did what I asked and then she found exactly what I said.

It was only like eight days.
And you had that many surgeries in eight days.
